2. It's only a stepping 1 chip...
The latest Barcelona chips are B02 steppings with one more to go. Believe me, the reason we did not post any numbers at Computex or since then is the simple fact that the CPU/boards/BIOS have undergone dramatic changes over the course of the summer. If you have an earlier stepping there is a very good chance that HT and the secondary cache is disabled, this will affect the benchmarks dramatically. We expect to see final stepping chips and board revisions early next week, until then, it is all speculation for the most part.

The one caveat that I will add, this chip really does not get into a groove until you get over 2.4GHz and then it scales incredibly well. Also, the first RD790 boards we have will undergo another spin so any Phenom results with those boards are subject to interpretation depending on whether you like AMD or not.
